Title: BT Openreach.... any engineers/SME's out there? Post by: @MacPhlea on Monday, December 23, 2013, 16:13:39 We're trying to get half of our village connected to broadband who aren't currently - Superfast would be nice but highly unlikely, we just want to get a steady stream of around 5mb - I want to talk to an experienced 'insider' who could maybe share some knowledge of what options are available - we have some funding and a number of small business prepared to work together...

Maybe if Mr Williams & Mr McIntyre added their weight to it, something might happen. Title: Re: BT Openreach.... any engineers/SME's out there? Post by: chunky monkey on Monday, December 23, 2013, 18:10:46 I'll pm you

Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, December 24, 2013, 00:32:41 I'd be interested in this as well. Just bought a house in Covingham (new build) Virgin Fibre not available, BT want £3k to feed infinity into the new street. Stuck with shitty Sky (16 mb/reality less than 4 mb) broadband.
Any help or advice appreciated. Title: Re: BT Openreach.... any engineers/SME's out there? Post by: sheepshagger on Thursday, January 2, 2014, 10:13:29 Morning all
We live in old town and BT Infinity website have had a date which started as being Jan 2013 - every month kept rolling to the next Now it says Jan-March 2014 I know the exchange is live, so I think it's a cabinet upgrade --- is there any real way of finding out if this is actually scheduled anytime in those 3 months or is it all a bit of a piss take stringing us along ? Title: Re: BT Openreach.... any engineers/SME's out there? Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, January 2, 2014, 10:21:31 Have you tried checking on this site?

The problem is that this has been the same for over a year now ?!? I wondered if anyone in the know would be able to see if the cabinet is actually due to be upgraded, or what the problem is ? I work from home so faster Broadband would be a massive bonus !!! Title: Re: BT Openreach.... any engineers/SME's out there? Post by: sheepshagger on Thursday, January 2, 2014, 10:36:04 By the way it is Cabinet number 167 if that helps ?

Title: Re: BT Openreach.... any engineers/SME's out there? Post by: sheepshagger on Thursday, January 2, 2014, 10:59:15 Thanks but none of this tells me anything about the cabinet - I guess thats the only real way of knowing when we might be connected to Infinity ?
Everything else seems to be done apart from the cabinet ? Title: Re: BT Openreach.... any engineers/SME's out there? Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, January 2, 2014, 11:13:39 Yes, the exchange is enabled but your cabinet hasn't been upgraded. It was all planned out in 2011 but many roll-outs have been delayed, hence the date for your cabinet keeps getting pushed back.
Unfortunately it's just a case of having to wait. Mine got delayed, but my exchange was one of the first to be enabled so I didn't have too long to wait. A friendly Openreach engineer might be able to look up the details. |
